The Kirkbymoorside Grapevine has circulated some misinformation about the events of May 1st, when the annual Tractor Run and 10k race will be joined by the Tour de Yorkshire.

Two giant child-like puppets, each about 2m tall, will be collecting funds for local cycle tracks when the “Tour de Yorkshire” zooms along the A170 on 1st May, and they will be in town for the 10K races too.
